Queer Still Life Series (Ongoing)

This series of traditionally constructed still life photographs reconsider the dinner table’s role as a space of representation, exchanging familiar objects with their deviant others where butter becomes Crisco, basketball are inverted, and an hourglass loses its sand. By simultaneously using some of the traditional tropes of historical still life painting, I am also queering these table top spaces by photographically depicting untraditional objects, introducing bodies or removing the table top altogether. The project explores gendered, raced and classed self-representation through the erotic and the performative.
